Old Man Wang was a little surprised when he saw Shen Lian come back with a piece of cloth.

"Are you going to make clothes?" Shen Lian stopped and nodded, "Yes, other clothes are a little old, so I want to make a new one." ”

"Then buy a few more pieces of cloth, the last thing our family lacks is money."

When he said this, Old Man Wang looked arrogant, but this is indeed the case.

The most important thing for the Wang family is money, although there is no way to compare with the big families in the capital, but here, he is the richest man here, and naturally he has the capital to say such things.

After hearing this, Shen Lian laughed.

"No matter how much money you have, you can't spend it casually, I just need to make a dress, and I don't need to do so much."

If it weren't for this case, I'm afraid it would have been a long time before I could buy this cloth, but now that I have such an opportunity, I naturally don't have to wait any longer.

After handing over the cloth to the embroidery girl of the Wang family, Shen Lian briefly said her thoughts and asked her to do what she asked.

It's also the clothes of this era, but it's only slightly improved, so if you wear it this way, it will be more comfortable, and there will be no hindrance in doing things or something.

After explaining this, Shen Lian directly called Yin Chen to find Chu Xi.

He has already arranged for someone to go out to follow Pan Chao, and now the person has not returned, and it is estimated that he has been following him.

While they were chatting, the headcatcher came back first.

"My lord, our people have been discovered, so we can only come back first."

After hearing this, Chu Xi was a little angry, "It's just rubbish, how did I tell you, let you be careful, how did you do it?" The head catcher stood there a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Yin Chen took the initiative to stand up and said, "Let me come, I'll find someone." ”

With that, he walked out directly, and after arranging Xiao Shi and Xiao Ba, he came back again.

After seeing him come back, Chu Xi originally wanted to ask if it was reliable this time, but thinking of his identity, he swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth.

After noticing that Chu Xi's face was a little ugly, Shen Lian comforted him and said, "There shouldn't be any big problems this time, his people are very reliable, and they will definitely not be discovered." ”

Hachi and Shishi rarely appear in front of everyone, so there aren't many people who have met them.

Even if they appear in front of Pan Chao, I'm afraid they won't be discovered.

It's just that Pan Chao has noticed that there is a head catcher following him before, and he will definitely be careful this time, so it is also a bit difficult to follow him to catch the evidence of his squandering.

After waiting for an hour, Hachi rushed back first and told him something.

"We found out that the man is gambling in the casino now, he looks quite rich, but he has already lost most of it, and now he has to hurry over, otherwise, when he loses all the money, I'm afraid the person will run away, and now Xiao Shi is staring at it there, and he won't let people leave like this."

Hearing this, Chu Xi and the others hurriedly rushed to the casino with people.

Since Pan Chao has already exposed his feet, it means that the money on his body is very problematic, it should be that he stole the money hidden by the pillar at the head of the bed, and there should not be any big problem.

Just when they arrived at the casino, Pan Chao was about to come out of it, and when he saw the prefect coming with someone, he was stunned for a moment.

Soon, however, he returned to normal, pretending not to know anything, and was going to move on.

Seeing this, Shen Lian stepped forward directly and stopped him.

"Where are you going now?" In the face of her obstruction, Pan Chao was a little displeased, but the other party was so powerful that he had no way to do it, otherwise, it would be tantamount to asking for hardship.

"Of course I'm going home, what do you want to do? It can't be a robbery, right? These words directly made Shen Lian laugh out loud, "What you say is indeed quite interesting, but what do you think I want to rob you?" ”

"How do I know? I have to go home for dinner now. ”

After speaking, he directly bypassed Shen Lian and tried to escape, but he was directly blocked by Yin Chen, who was standing outside.

"You can't go back, you stole the money from the pillar, and then ran to gamble, and you still want to go home? You thief! Suddenly, Pan Chao's face was red, but he was still defending himself.

"I'm not a thief, why have you wronged me like this? You've got to show the evidence. ”

Seeing that he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, Chu Xi directly found the owner of the casino and asked the boss how much money Pan Chao had lost here just now.

"My lord, he has lost more than five hundred taels of silver here, of which he is still in arrears of seventy taels of silver."

After hearing this, Chu Xi looked at Pan Chao and asked sharply, "Do you have anything else to say now?" ”

"It's not illegal to gamble, but isn't it gambling?"

"I'm asking you where the money comes from."

"Yes, my father gave it to me."

I didn't expect that his lying face didn't turn red with shame at all, but he was quite calm, without the slightest panic.

Chu Xi couldn't bear it, "You don't need to quibble anymore, we have already gone to your house to ask your father before, he usually hardly gives you much silver, he is afraid that you will come to gamble, and now he still wants to quibble, come here, bring me back, I will interrogate in person." ”

In this way, Pan Chao was forcibly taken back to Yamen.

He was forced to kneel under the hall, looking unconvinced, "I said, I'm not a thief at all, why did you arrest me?" You are wronging me. ”

Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Chu Xi said, "The evidence is conclusive, if you still refuse to admit it, you can only be tortured." ”

"You're trying to bend into a fight!" Pan Chao looked at Chu Xi viciously, still refusing to let go.

"Well, since you won't admit it, you just wait for your father to come and see how he explains."

Here has already sent someone to inform Pan Gao, not long after, he hurried over, on the way here, he already knew the general situation from the catcher who wore the words, this anger in his heart, never thought that his son would do such a shameless thing, simply lost all his people.

After seeing Pan Gao coming, Chu Xi said unceremoniously, "Your son stole other people's money, but now he doesn't admit it, and has been quibbling, do you want to watch your son be beaten, or persuade him to take the initiative to admit all this?" ”

Pan Gao was in such a dilemma, he really didn't know why his son would do such a thing, but now, for the sake of fame, but also for the sake of protecting his son, he had to lie.

"Lord Prefect, my son really can't steal, my family is so rich, how could he do such a thing?"

"If he didn't steal the money, then where did he get the money he used to gamble?"

"He's going to gamble?" Pan Gao was a little surprised, he didn't expect this Pan Chao to be so uncompetitive, not only stole the money, but also took the money to gamble, so angry that he didn't know what to do for a while.

After a brief moment's consideration, he replied, "I gave it to him." ”

"You gave it to him?" Shen Lian sneered, "When I went to your house to buy cloth, you personally admitted that you didn't give Pan Chao so much silver, because he has a habit of gambling, how can you give it to him now?" Pan Gao: If you deliberately lie about some things and try to conceal them, it won't do you any good. ”

"I'm really not lying, everything I said is true."

After seeing him say this, Shen Lian understood that he was trying to protect his son, so he told this big lie.

But paper can't contain the fire after all, besides, they have already determined that the money of the pillar was stolen by Pan Chao, how could they believe it because of Pan Gao's two-word protection? Even if they didn't want to admit it, Shen Lian had other ways.

"Okay, if you don't want to admit it, we won't force you, but on the pillars of the stolen silver, he has made a mark, I don't know if the stolen person has noticed it when he uses it, and after a while, we will go to the gambling hall and ask the boss if the silver used by Pan Chao just now is marked, if so, it is useless for you to deny it."
